Welcome back to The Artful Gourmet Podcast “Into Focus” series, where we talk about creativity, mindset, and designing a life and business that truly lights you up. I'm your host, Kristen Hess, and today I want to dive into a question that can completely change the trajectory of your life and career. That question is: “What if?”

Now, most of us hear “what if” in a negative way— What if I fail? What if they don't like me? What if this doesn't work out? But today, we're going to flip that script. I'll show you how asking the right kind of “what if” questions can help you get rid of fear and self-doubt, spark change, and open up possibilities for successful business opportunities and fulfilling life experiences.

So, grab your coffee, or maybe a glass of wine—this is going to be a juicy one.
